My daughter Sabina was diagnosed with Crohn’s disease in 2011 and, as a result, has experienced significant heath issues and hospitalizations. Through drawing and art she has found a much-needed diversion from the many difficult and painful moments she continues to endure. The role of drawing and art in her life sparked the idea of putting her drawings on t-shirts. Her project, Galixee, was born. Then, during a hospital stay, she discovered that companies often give things to kids struggling with illness, as a way to cheer them up. Having felt the impact of such giving first-hand, Sabina wanted to pay it forward. Her vision is to create a Galixee Gives Back Program at local area hospitals. This program will provide Galixee merchandise to kids who have extended hospital stays due to chronic illness.

Over the weekend, Two Bit Circus debuted the STEAM Carnival, an event where every carnival game teaches kids about science. Wondros family member Melissa Painter attended with her son and took the photo above. For more photos of the event, visit Wondros's Pinterest board, and if you'd like to support more STEAM Carnivals, make a donation to Two Bit Circus's Kickstarter campaign, beginning today.
